If you were one of the people in the crowd at one of Melbourne's Kendrick Lamar concerts, you'll know that KDot put on one helluva performance complete with flames, fireworks and all his hits. Sydney’s shows are set to be just as epic. And we can confirm: 'Not Like Us' goes even harder IRL.
Here’s everything you need to know about Kendrick’s Sydney shows…
When is Kendrick Lamar in Sydney?
After two sold-out shows in Melbourne, the multi-Grammy Award-winning rapper is bringing his Grand National Tour to Moore Park’s Allianz Stadium on Wednesday, December 10, 2025 and Thursday, December 11, 2025.
How to get to the Kendrick Lamar Sydney concerts
Public transport is your best option for getting to Allianz Stadium (also known as Sydney Football Stadium), at 40 Driver Avenue, Moore Park. The cost of public transport is included in your ticket. If you have stamina, you can walk up to the stadium from Central Station. It takes about 25 minutes, but just a warning – it’s an uphill walk, so it’s not for the faint-hearted. If you want to get to the city early and make an adventure of it, you can have a bit of a pub crawl up to Moore Park – these are some of the best pubs on the way to and near the stadium.
Most people opt instead to take the Moore Park Light Rail service from Central – it’s just a short trip on the L2 and/or L3 Randwick Line, which you can catch from Chalmers Street. They run frequently. Various bus services stop along Anzac Parade, Oxford Street and Lang Road, within walking distance of Allianz Stadium. You could catch a taxi or rideshare, but keep in mind that services will be busy. It’s probably not advised, but you could also drive – all info about parking is here. And you can plan your public transport trip over here.
What time will Kendrick Lamar come on stage in Sydney?
Gates will open at 5.30pm, with the support scheduled to start from 7.10pm. At Melbourne’s shows, the support acts played for around an hour. In Melbourne, Kendrick hit the stage just after 9pm, so make sure you’re ready by then.
What can I bring to the Kendrick Lamar Sydney shows?
For all gigs at Allianz Stadium, you can’t bring things including alcohol, glass bottles, metal containers, or any other breakable containers. You can’t bring cameras with detachable lenses larger than 200mm, video cameras, audio equipment or tripods (unless you’re accredited media). You can’t bring big flags or banners, or flags or banners that contain text or images deemed offensive, discriminatory or intimidating. You can’t bring skateboards, scooters, rollerblades or bikes in. Depending on your ticket type, you may not be able to bring umbrellas (refer to pre-event emails for event-specific info).

Are there any Kendrick Sydney tickets left?
This won’t come as a shock to anyone, but demand for Kendrick tickets has been through the roof, and at the time of writing, there were no tickets available via Ticketek for the first (Wednesday) show, but there were for the second (Thursday) show.
